Which long, winding ridge is formed by streams of glacial meltwater?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Esker
An esker is a long, narrow, winding ridge of sand and gravel deposited by streams flowing within or beneath a glacier. When the ice melts, the channel deposits remain as a raised ridge that records the former meltwater route. A barchan is a crescent dune, a sea arch is coastal, and a sinkhole is a depression; hence option D is correct.
